Divine Nakimera

Female
Good Health
Favorite Subject: Writing
Favorite Pastime: Playing with other Kids

Divine is a cheerful and friendly young girl who loves playing with other children on the swings. She currently lives with her grandmother, who has cared for her ever since Divine’s mother left two years ago.

Divine’s mother became pregnant at a young age, and the father—also a student at the time—disappeared out of fear of social consequences. Overwhelmed, Divine’s mother eventually left her daughter in the care of her own mother and has not returned.

To provide for them, Divine’s grandmother works in people’s gardens in exchange for food. While she does her best, she simply can’t afford the costs of school fees and supplies. With support, Divine would have the opportunity to attend school regularly and thrive both socially and academically.

About my community:
St. Francis of Assisi (Lugazi)
In the Lugazi Diocese, CARITAS finds some of the poorest families in all of Uganda. Because of St. Francis of Assisi's great love for the poor, he is the patron of this community. We pray for his intercession so that more children in this diocese have a chance to overcome the poverty that they have always known.
About my country:
Uganda
Known as the "Pearl of Africa," Uganda is located on the shores of Lake Victoria in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Since emerging from decades of civil war and the devastation of AIDs, estimates indicate that 48% of Uganda's population is below the age of 15. Young children suffer disproportionately in the struggle to access healthcare, education, and clean water.
